For the Sharks fans

posted by Kerry-Anne
A special photo from yesterday's kite festival, to honour the winners of the Currie Cup... :-)

The Currie Cup is a rugby union tournament held each year in South Africa. The final of this year's tournament was played yesterday, and the team from KwaZulu-Natal, the Natal Sharks, beat the Pretoria-based Blue Bulls by 14 points to 9. Even though Western Province (that's Cape Town's home team) weren't playing in the final, televisions and radios everywhere were tuned in and turned up yesterday afternoon - rugby is a big deal here. :-)

By the way, Western Province (most often referred to just as "Province") last won the trophy in 2001.

I suspect congratulations is in order for the winner. Such a lovely kite.

Hey - great shot. At first glance it looked like a real fish in an aquarium. Following your site as a capetonian photographer. If you ever need any outside pics let me know.

Hi...I'm back again been missing for a few days and I was so pleased to see you had some pics from the Kite Festival.

I had read about it and thought if the weather was good, which it was, it would be a great opportunity for some beautiful shots as this fish photo is..
